I’ve listened to both of them. Both are Rachel Jeantel. The reasons her voice sounds “higher pitched” and “livelier” in the Crump interview are that Crump recorded her over a speaker phone and she was in a closet where the sound waves don’t dispurse as they would in large room. (She may also have been using her bluetooth headset.) Additionally, the small tape recorder that Crump used also creates some distortion in the playback.
If you listen to the syllables of several words, you will hear that they are pronounced the same way. For example, the word “call.”
Not buying. Too many glaring discrepancies/factors. How do you know she’s “in a closet”? That girl has a different personality entirely, more lively and chipper.
Furthermore, RJ has never been referred to (in all of her various aliases) as “Dee Dee” since she became known to the country last week, while witness #8 was “Dee Dee” all of last year.
